Fuel Pressure Loss

I have been experiencing a loss in fuel pressure at about 2.5 gallons into my rides. I have a 4 gallon tank, it never did this when I first put the tank on. I have a 05 1200xlr with and aftermarket drag specialties stretched tank. I have drained the gas, cleaned the filter blew out the fuel and vent lines cleaned the carb. The petcock looks to be in good shape to. Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

Check the petcock diaphram, and make sure you're using a vented cap.
